MAGO

MAGO is a Latin Mexican grill and cantina known for chef Juan Luis Gonzalez's version of old family recipes, including steak, chicken, pork and seafood dishes prepared with his grandmother Paula's recipes and house-made moles. The bar is built around margaritas and a collection of more than 200 premium 100% blue agave tequilas, served for sipping or in cocktails.

The restaurant has locations in Arlington Heights, South Barrington and Bolingbrook, and takes reservations through its website. Fajitas come sizzling in a hot molcajete, and the room has a festive but refined feel that suits a group night out. Gift cards are sold online.
